Industrial IoT vendors each solve their slice of the problem well. The pain is what happens when you have three or four of them and no shared picture.
The Multi-Vendor Reality
- Sensolus for low-power asset tracking. BLE gateways from a different vendor. GPS from a third.
- Each comes with its own portal, alert rules and login.
- Operations end up living in the gaps between dashboards.
A Unified Approach
- API ingest from Sensolus, BLE gateway providers and major GPS protocols into one normalised data model.
- Single rule engine across all device types.
- AI assistant that can answer questions across the whole estate, not just one vendor.
Practical Use Cases
- "Which IBCs are at customer sites and haven't moved in 30 days?" answered in one query.
- Excursion correlation across temperature, location and door events.
- Battery and connectivity health forecast across all vendors in a single view.
Industrial IoT vendors are good at devices. A unified platform is what turns those devices into operations.
